ZAKK SABBATH, the preeminent BLACK SABBATH tribute band featuring guitarist and vocalist Zakk Wylde, bassist Blasko, and drummer Joey Castillo are back to sell their souls for rock 'n' roll!
"Greatest Riffs" is a 10-track retrospective of pure BLACK SABBATH worship, with choice cuts pulled from across the massively received albums "Vertigo", "Doomed Forever Forever Doomed" and "Vol. 4 Redux". "Greatest Riffs" features blistering ZAKK SABBATH renditions of songs originally appearing on the Birmingham four's undeniable classics "Master of Reality", "Paranoid", "Vol. 4", and the self-titled debut LP.
Founded by BLACK LABEL SOCIETY frontman Zakk Wylde, renowned for his many years as lead guitarist for OZZY OSBOURNE and now PANTERA, alongside OZZY OSBOURNE and ROB ZOMBIE bassist Blasko, and drummer Joey Castillo (DANZIG, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE), ZAKK SABBATH presented their first studio release in 2020 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of BLACK SABBATH's self-titled debut full-length, releasing their own tribute to the heavy metal milestone under the title "Vertigo".
The album was heaped with praise from critics and fans alike, scoring massive global success as witnessed by impressive Billboard chart entries such as #5 on the US Hard Music chart, #7 on the Current Rock Albums chart and #27 on the Billboard Top Albums chart. Outside the US, the debut scored a #1 in Metal Albums in France and #3 on the German Album chart, as well as #9 on the UK Top 40 Rock/Metal chart among others.
Pure passion for classic metal drove ZAKK SABBATH to erect an even more monolithic monument to BLACK SABBATH with the double album "Doomed Forever Forever Doomed" in 2023. This towering double LP beautifully revisited the albums "Master of Reality" and "Paranoid" that both feature some of the most influential and consequential heavy anthems of all time!
